Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ zucchini, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
½ small eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
1 red bell pepper, quartered
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
ground black pepper to taste
1 small whole-grain baguette, cut into two halves and split lengthwise
¼ cup basil pesto
4 ounces fresh baby mozzarella, sliced
2 plum tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Combine zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle salt over the mixture. Set aside to allow the vegetables to tenderize, at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Drain moisture from vegetable mixture. Brush vegetables with olive oil to coat; season with black pepper.
  • Cook vegetables on hot grill until tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Toast cut sides of baguette in a toaster oven until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread basil pesto evenly over toasted surface. Arrange grilled vegetables evenly onto 2 of the baguette halves. Top each with sliced mozzarella and plum tomato slices; top sandwich with the remaining baguette pieces to serve.

I found this sandwich to be a bit bland. I think it could have used a little more seasoning.

This sandwich was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was still good.

I'm not usually a fan of veggie sandwiches, but this one was surprisingly delicious! The grilled vegetables were perfectly tender and flavorful, and the pesto added a nice kick.

This grilled vegetable sandwich was a delightful explosion of flavors! The combination of roasted veggies, tangy pesto, and creamy mozzarella was a match made in sandwich heaven.
